ShiftN - distorted image correction (+ bonus)

[homair]

I wanted to introduce an easy and light tool to correct distorted image : ShiftN (just google it)

It very convenient when you like a picture, but it is distorted. It' sometimes the case with sellers who take a regular shot of the front page of a magazine. Here are two exemples:

notice the strange small head. In fact this picture is already a little bit edited as i framed it and erase the borders of the page

A simple manipulation and you got some better proportions:


in this case, i even didn't need to adjust the correction:
From
to

It works well also for rotation. Indeed, there are some limits when the perspective is really messed up, but it's a good tool.

If some people are interested i can make also a little "how to" for simple image adjustement with a freeware as Xnview, an image viewer that plays video (sometimes codecs that even vlc doesn't play), works well as a simple file explorer and had some basic but good image correction options.

By the way, when i searched for a source for this example, i came accross these on ebay. I didn't take all what i found, yet there must be still some reposts from FP.

Very interesting indeed....Thanks very much for pointing this one up..!!

There's one seller in particular in UK on eBay who sells glossy patterns, & obviously they are trying to avoid flash over-exposure when they photograph them for their listings..

( ..That Sirdar one looked just like one of theirs... be quite a useful add-on for anyone saving the pics..)
